The Colour Green
Arcane Charmcaster: Thankyou for bringing my attention to that :)

I heard that there was a group looking for a cure, I didn't believe it. I was wrong. I heard that the cure was closer than expected, I didn't believe it. I was right, and wrong at the same time. I thought I was dead, I believed it too. I wasn't. I thought I couldn't keep going, I believed it too. The sound of the girls voice made me doubt myself. I thought I put a gun to my head, I thought I heard a click too, I thought I pulled the trigger too, I thought I died too. Those eyes told me I was wrong.

"Name."
"…"
"Kid! Are you even listening to me?"
I jumped at the voice, having forgotten where I was. "Sorry what?"
"Name?" The guard said.
"Flynn." I managed to get out through a yawn. The guard nodded and wrote something down on his sheet of paper, had to be my name.
"Alright Flynn, where are you from?"
I looked at the man sitting next to the guard, a man nearing the mid forties it seemed, he was definitely superior compared to the guard, in the hierarchy of leadership anyway. "Maryland."
"Where in Maryland?" The guard asked.
"I'm not exactly sure, that's just where my mum said I was from. I don't even know what it looks like." I sighed.
"And your just by yourself now?" The superior asked, a Texan accent apparent in his voice.
"Yes."
Both men nodded and the superior watched as the guard wrote something down on the sheet of paper.
"How long were you planning on staying here Flynn? Or are you looking to stay here permanently?" The superior asked.
"I'll stay as long as I'm able." Another yawn escaping. "I can work." I suggested.
The superior looked up from the page for a second. "Doubt it with the shape your in." He sighed. "However we've got enough food for everyone two times over here so you should be alright soon enough." He smiled.
It took me a couple of seconds to notice the significance of his words, it was also made a hell of a lot clearer when I saw the smile flicker across his face. "Does that mean I'm allowed in?" I asked.
"Welcome to Jackson kid." The man smiled, shaking my hand. The guard also shaking my hand.
"My names James. This is Tommy." He smiled. "He runs things around here so if you need any help come talk to either of us, preferably me because Tommy has important stuff to look after." I nodded in response.
James shook his head. "Lets go find you a place to stay buddy. Get some food for you too."
Words could not express how grateful I was.
